I'm writing to members of the DIV28 list serve to ask if you would be able to pass along our job ad (see below) to anyone who might be a good fit for this position in Psychology. The position is in Animal Neuroscience. Increasing the diversity of our faculty at Lawrence is a high priority campus-wide, so we are especially interested in reaching out to candidates who identify with groups currently underrepresented in the academy. In addition to asking you to pass along our ad, I would welcome receiving from you the names of potential candidates so that I can contact them directly to encourage them to apply. I would also welcome receiving the names of any of your colleagues who might be able to suggest additional potential candidates. May I use your name when I make these contacts?
Thank you in advance,
Beth Haines
